History

The first unsuccessful attempt to grant a town charter occurred in 1255.[3] Town rights were eventually granted according to various sources either in 1277,[4] 1280[5] or 1288.[3] The town suffered from fires in 1593, 1630, 1659, 1694 and 1716.[3][6] It was most devastated by the Russians during the Seven Years' War of 1756–1763, and the town hall archive was burned.[3][6]
During World War II, the German administration operated a forced labour subcamp of the Stalag II-D prisoner-of-war camp in the town.[7]
